<p>Bernie, have you ever taken a Liberal Arts class at Georgia Tech to be able to compare the method of teaching and learning?</p>

<p>I’m not really a fan of what website. The author takes GPAs without considering causes. For example, many schools have justly increased their average GPA as they’ve increased their admissions requirements. Also, many schools have increased their GPA as they’ve widened their curriculum offerings.</p>
<p>For example, 30 years ago (the span of the survey), people did not go to UGA to become teachers. They became teachers either through practical learning or through local 2-year colleges. Now, you need a 4-year degree to become a teacher, and as a result, UGA admits many more education majors than 30 years ago. Education majors have a higher GPA than non-education majors, so a higher percentage of education majors increases the university GPA. That doesn’t mean that UGA is inflating grades, it just means that one department has more relaxed GPAs than other departments.</p>
<p>And that’s just one example of a career that until recently did not require a 4-year degree. UGA has many others.</p>
